IIVIPROVED CIGARfSHAPED SMOKER.

To @ZZ whom, it mfc/.y concern.:

Be it known that I, D. D. FOLEY, of the city of Washington, in theDistrict of Columbia, have invented a new and useful Improvement inPipes or Tobacco-Smokers; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear,and exact description of the same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings,in which- Figure lis a perspective view of mytobaccosmoker. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the externalshell of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section of both theexternal shell or ease and the inclosed pipebowl or receptacle for thetobacco.

The nature of my invention consists in so constructing a smoker that inexternal appearance it shall resemblea cigar, and in'internalarrangementshall consist of an interior chamber or pipe-bowl to containthe tobacco, surrounded by a space between it and the external case, inwhich will be gathered the saliva, Sto., which may pass down through thetube ofthe smoker. y

That others may understand the construction and operation of myinvention, I will describe it more particularly.

A is the outer case or shell, made of any suitable material, and in formresembling a cigar. This case may be very properly made of wood, andwill then possess the requisite lightness and beauty of finish.

B is the interior bowl or tobacco-chamber, and may properly be made ofclay or any other4 suitable material. It is somewhat smaller than theinterior of the case A, and contact of surfaces is prevented by severallittle studs or projections, b b b b, upon the outside of the bowl B. Atits larger end it may be provided with a ange, as in Fig. 2, and ittightly into the lower end of the outer case; or it may be maintained inposition by a screw-cap, as in Fig. 3, or by any other mode ofattachment.

D is a cover or lid closing the mouthof the bowl B.

F is the smoke-tube, through which the smoke from the burning tobacco isdrawn into the mouth. The lid `D is provided with a number ofdraft-holes, through which the air is drawn to maintain combustion.

The interior bowl, B, having been charged with tobacco it is lighted inthe usual manner. The lid D may then be closed, if desired, and theoperation of smoking performed in the usual manner of smoking a cigar.If thebowl B is made of clay, it will not be affected by the action ofthe re within, and the air-space E will prevent the outer case, A," frombecoming excessively heated. The saliva, instead of descending to thetobacco inthe bowl B, will remain'in the annular space E, where alsowill be received the poisonous nicotine or oil produced by thecombustion of the tobacco, which, if the tube F entered the bowl, wouldin some lmeasure be carried into the mouth with the smoke.

If desirable, a wet spongeV may be -inserted in the upper end of thespace E, so that the smoke will be compelled to pass throughv it, and bethereby cooled and furtherdeprived of its poisonous oil. The sponge mayalso be perfumed or moistened with any aromatic substance that willimpart an agreeable flavor to the smoke.

' Among the advantages secured by my invention may be mentioned thecompact and convenient form of the smoker and more perfeet separation ofthe smoke from the saliva than in ordinary pipes.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent of the United States, is-' The construction of a'cigar-shaped smoker -with an external shell or case, A, containing along bowl or tobacco-chamber, B, supported and held in place by thesmall studs or pro- `)'ections b b b b, so as to leave a space aroundit, combined and arranged substantially as described, and for thepurposes set forth.
